Summary

A text for radiology residents and students of nuclear medicine technology. Familiarity with elementary concepts of physics such as energy and force is assumed, although there is a review of basic physics concepts, and mathematics is kept to a minimum. Coverage includes nuclides and radioactive processes, detection of radiation, emission computed tomography, and safe handling of materials. Formerly titled ''Introductory Physics of Nuclear Medicine'', this fifth edition is organized for fast access to material, and contains new and revised material on areas such as radiopharmaceuticals, scintillation cameras, and SPECT. New learning features include chapter key points, use of both SI and CGS units, and two new reference appendices. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
